Why does everyone hate metal?

[S.P.Q.R.]

This is the only part of this message board that bothers me... the extream lack in metalheads and the extream amounts of Rap (though expected with this being a cannabis forum and all). Metal is the only music for me.. has been and always will be my form of music. Though to the OP, get your shit straight... screamo isn't metal. It's a disgusting bastard child of Emo, and to put things bluntly... emo in all forms is SHIT! Though I can't blame people for mixing things up... There's so many shitty bands calling themselves metal it's rediculous. Slipknot is the worst of these bands.. Nu-metal pop SHIT that likes to dress in silly costumes and pretend their something their not

Metal = Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse, Mayhem, Death, Gorgoroth, Pantera, Immolation.

Nu-metal/pop = Slipknot, Korn, Trivium, and all other shit that teenage mall-goths listen to

S.P.Q.R. Reviewed by S.P.Q.R. on 06-22-2007. Why does everyone hate metal? I like mainly metal, heavy metal, screamo you know. Well i hate how everyone says that its not even music because its just screaming. Most people just listen to 5 seconds of a song and are like its screaming and i dont want anything to do with it. Its the best kind of music, its takes a lot of talent and the emotion in it is real. Classic rock is good too but i think that it doent have the emotion in it and i think it could be related to rap just because of the way they sing and what they sing Rating: 5

Not a bad list. I would consider some of the best metal out there: Motorhead, Megadeth, Old Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, Death, Arch Enemy, Dark Tranquillity, and Iron Maiden.

Oh Fuck me, how did I forget Slayer, Motorhead, and Maiden??!! I wouldn't count Arch Enemy or Dark Tranquillity as some of the "best" metal, but i'm a bit more conservative than most :stoned:

Right now i'm listening to Death's Scream Bloody Gore album, fucking sick..

[cannabis campbell]

Lol well personally i dont like it, but yeah it is music most people are just stereotypical

[Spoken Word]

Well..
Prolly similar or the same reasons why people dislike rap.

I love metal... I just hate screamo...

btw anyone like Electric Wizard... cool shit... nice Doom metal or whatever the fuck u wanna call it...

[S.P.Q.R.]

FUCK YEAH, MAN! Electric Wizard is trippy shit.. If you like Doom you should check out Isis.. They're sludge but a lot of Doom bands take inspiration from them

[Runaway Jim]

In my opinion, anything besides like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Pantera is straight fucking garbage. The screamings got to go. And with regards to rap, i like rap, at least good rappers know how to put words together fluidly and flow rather than just scream nonsensical shit above repeatedly used and abused drop-D metal scales, not that most rap production today isnt as bad as that... Music in general these days sucks.

I think i saw Isis at staples center last year they were pretty fuckin cool... they opened for Tool (which was just fucking sick)
